Pedrosa takes the victory at Motegi

Dani Pedrosa took his third victory of the season in a dramatic Grand Prix of Japan with Casey Stoner alongside him on the podium in third position and with Andrea Dovizioso finishing fifth.

Today, Dani celebrates the 400th win for a Spaniard in Grand Prix racing and has given the Repsol Honda Team its first ever victory at the Motegi circuit. It's also the first win for Honda at this track since Makoto Tamada was victorious aboard his Camel Honda in 2004. Joining Dani on the podium, accepting the constructors trophy was Mr. Takanobu Ito - President, Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director of Honda.

Rossi back on the podium as Fiat Yamaha fight it out at Motegi

Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo put on a brilliant show for the Japanese fans at Motegi today, fighting it out for the final podium position in a battle that went down to the wire. Rossi just prevailed over his team-mate to take third, his sixth podium of the season, while Lorenzo's fourth place sets up his first Championship match-point at Sepang next weekend.

The excitement between the pair started at turn one, when Lorenzo pulled an audacious move on Rossi, passing him around the outside and exiting the second corner in third place, with the Italian in fourth. As the eventual-winner and runner-up Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso moved clear in front, Rossi was determined not to let his team-mate escape and stuck close behind, looking for every occasion to pass him. He tried a few times before he was able to make it stick and the reigning World Champion eventually passed the current championship-leader on the sixth lap of 24, going on to set the fastest lap of the race on the next lap.

Vladimir Leonov shows impressive results in Japan

Grand Prix of Japan ended with Alvaro Bautista (No. 19, Aprilia bike) from Mapfre Aspar Team 250cc winning in the 250cc class in Motegi last weekend.

Vladimir Leonov, the Russian pilot representing Viessmann Kiefer Racing, had a great surprise for not only all his fans, but also the team itself, which acts as his sponsor and supports him during his international MotoGP 2009 international tour. On his birthday, Vladimir came in 15th and earned his first well-deserved “1” point.
